Watch a short featurette called “Stories From Los Angeles” featuring parts from two of our favorite interviews; Los Angeles historian, George Sanchez, and a delightful Los Angeles resident, Jack Sanchez (no relation).

In the first part, noted author/historian George Sanchez (Becoming Mexican American) talks about one of L.A.’s most unique features and why it makes for such complex social interactions. Then we have long time Los Angeles resident Jack Sanchez reminiscing about what made him and his new wife decide to move to California.
